Chapter Ninety-Nine: A Golden Lock
Although Yun Wuxian was very excited in his heart, he didn't reveal too much pride on the surface. On the contrary, he has to act very panicked. Although Yun Wuxian had never heard the idiom of "retreating as advance", he knew this method.
"When I say in charge, isn't it just a golden lock. As for taking us to meet the master?" Yun Wuxian said disapprerovingly, "Senior Brother Daotong and I picked it up in the back mountain. If you don't steal or rob, how much law can you commit?"
"Don't pull me. Xiao Daotong hurriedly said, "You picked up the golden lock yourself." I don't want it, you have to give it to me. ”
"Good, good. It's all my fault, it has nothing to do with you, so it's okay. Yun Wuxian said, "Steward Yu, if you like this golden lock, you can keep it." That's the end of this matter, I'm going to fetch water and chop wood, do you think it's okay?"
"No, you can't. Steward Yu said angrily, "You take my words as a deaf ear, don't you?" I said that if I want to take you to the head, I must go to the head. This matter is settled. You follow me. ”
Steward Yu pulled Yun Wuxi, and the two of them pulled and pulled, and went to the "Heaven and Earth View" in front. When Yun Wuxian came to the "Heaven and Earth View", he saw many Maoshan disciples practicing.
"The immortal road is slim, and humanity is boundless. Ghosts are happy, and they are the door of life. The immortal road is noble, and the ghost road is noble. ......”
"Senior brother, what are they reading?" Yun Wuxian asked the manager in a low voice.
"'Demon Suppression'. Steward Yu looked at the Maoshan disciples who were practicing, and said with envy, "These disciples are all at the level of a mage." When they go down the mountain, they can subdue demons and subdue demons alone. If only I could be one of them. With a long sword, he walked down the mountain and showed off his might. Huh!"
"I heard that the children of the Immortal Cultivation Sect are divided into martial masters, demon slaying masters, enchanters, and finally grandmasters. Why is there another mage here?" Yun Wuxian asked, puzzled.
Steward Yu looked Yun Wuxian up and down with his eyes, and said, "I didn't see it, you still know a lot." Who told you this nonsense?"
"Master Xuanji told me. He wanted me to practice hard and wanted me to become an enchanter. Yun Wuxian said with a smile.
"What Master Xuanji said is right. But generally speaking, people here call the demon slayer a mage, and the enchanter a sorcerer. Steward Yu said, "Here, you don't need to practice martial arts. After becoming a disciple of Maoshan, reciting the scriptures for three years, and then you can cultivate from the mage, then the sorcerer, and finally the grandmaster. Hey, why am I telling you this? Hurry up, I'm bringing you here to punish you. I almost forgot about it. ”
While speaking, the two came to the door of the "Heaven and Earth View", and the steward knelt on his knees and folded his hands. Yun Wuxian stood stunned at a moment's notice. In the corner of Steward Yu's eyes, he saw that Yun Wuxian did not kneel, and he pulled Yun Wuxian hard. Yun Wuxian knelt down this time.
"Senior brother, aren't we going in?" asked Yun Wuxian .
"Shut up for me. Steward Yu said angrily.
Yun Wuxian didn't know what the steward was always waiting for here. But if he can't get up, he can't get up. The two of them knelt down and finished their cultivation at the Maoshan Disciple Sect, and they all dispersed. At the door of the entire hall, there were only two of them.
Yun Wuxi's knees were numb, and he wanted to get up and move his body. A pair of feet appeared on the ground in front of him, wearing straw sandals and white cloth socks. Yun Wuxian was about to look up, and the steward shouted: "See the master of the sect." ”
Yun Wuxian also kowtowed.
"Get up. ”
A loud voice reached Yun Wuxi's ears. Yun Wuxian got up and secretly glanced at the head of Qingfeng with his eyes. He found that the head of the breeze stretched out quite high. He himself is one meter seven or eight, to say the least. But in front of the head of Qingfeng, he is like a child.
"Master, this person is in violation. The disciple brought this person and asked the master to punish this person. Steward Yu said.
"You're the backyard steward?" Qingfeng asked.
"Yes. Steward Yu didn't expect Qingfeng Dao Leader to be able to say his name, he was very happy, raised his head, and had a smile on his face. Like a child who has been praised.
"Oh! This person next to you is one of your men?"
"Yes. Steward Yu said, "This person disobeys discipline and repeatedly violates Maoshan regulations." The disciple had no intention of disciplining him. This is why this person was brought, and the master of the sect was asked to punish this person. ”
"Disciple in the backyard. has not yet completed the three-year investigation, and is not yet a disciple of Maoshan. It's not a violation, if he does something out of the ordinary, you can decide whether he goes or stays. ”
"Master, I was wronged. Yun Wuxian raised his head, looked at Qingfeng and said, "I didn't do anything, why did he want to drive me away?"
At this time, a little Taoist boy walked over. He clasped his hands together and said, "Master, there is a son surnamed Bai at the foot of the mountain who wants to see the head of the family." ”
"The poor way is to meditate today, and not to see the laity. Chase him away. Qingfeng said.
"Master, this person is extraordinary. Xiao Daotong approached Qingfeng Dao Chang and muttered a few words in a low voice, and Yun Wuxian saw that Qingfeng's face changed from calm to serious.
Qingfeng Dao Chang pondered for a moment and said, "Even so, you can bring it." Poor Dao is waiting for him here. ”
"Yes. ”
Xiao Daotong agreed to go down.
"You two go down too. Qingfeng Dao said.
Yun Wuxian finally saw the head of Qingfeng, so naturally it was impossible to leave like this. When the steward pulled Yun Wuxian to leave, Yun Wuxian suddenly prostrated at the feet of Qingfeng Dao, holding Qingfeng Dao's feet with both hands, and cried: "Master Master, you have to help me, Bai Ling is innocent, you have to save Bai Ling." ”
Yun Wuji's shout confused the Qingfeng Dao Chief. He used the dust in his hand to point Yun Wuxian, Yun Wuxian involuntarily let go of his hand, Qingfeng took a step back, and said, "You stand up first, you have something to say, you have something to say." ”
The little Taoist boy who had just gone down led a boy in white to come. Yun Wuxian was taken aback when he saw the man in white. Because this person is none other than a white salute. Yun Wuxian lowered his head, not letting Bai Zhili see his face. He was afraid that Bai Zhili would recognize him. Yun Wuxian was wearing a Maoshan Taoist robe, and Bai Zhili naturally couldn't imagine that the little Taoist boy beside him was Yun Wuxian.
"Xiao Shengbai saluted to meet the master. "Bai Shili bent down and bowed.
Qingfeng hurriedly took a step forward and hugged Bai Zhili. smiled: "Lord Bai came to Maoshan is my honor to Maoshan." Lord white, please inside. ”
"Maoshan is a place of Taoist cultivation, and I am a layman, so I will not go into the holy land to defile it. Bai Zhili said, "The little master is here, and the head must ensure the safety of the little master." ”
"I'm afraid Lord Bai is mistaken. Qingfeng Dao Chang said, "The disciples of Maoshan are all men, and there are no women who enter. There is no such thing as the person that Lord Bai said. That's right, everyone who comes to Maoshan Mountain. First of all, you have to go to the small courtyard to work as a coolie for three months, as an investigation. This is located in the steward's backyard, managing the backyard. Just ask him. ”
"I naturally believed the words of the master. Bai Zhili said, "Since the head of the family said that there is no more, Xiaosheng is inconvenient to disturb and leaves." ”
Bai Zhili turned around to leave, but Yun Wuxian hurriedly took a step back to make way for Bai Zhili. I don't want to, when Yun Wuxian retreated, he stepped on the foot of the steward. As a revenge for Yun Wuji, he kicked Yun Wuxian fiercely.
"Dang Chang!!"
The golden lock fell from the steward. Steward Yu wanted to bend down and pick it up. Bai Zhili took the first step and bent down to pick up the golden lock. Steward Yu didn't pick it up, he looked at Bai Zhili, smiled awkwardly, stretched out his hands, and said, "Thank you, sir." ”
"This is yours?" asked Bai Zhili.
"Hmm. Steward Yu wanted to admit that it was his own, but when he saw Bai Zhili's cold eyes, Steward Yu immediately changed his attention. He snorted and said, "Ah, no, this thing is his." ”
Steward Yu pointed to the cloud behind him without a trace.
Bai Zhili walked up to Yun Wuji, and Yun Wuxian knew that he couldn't hide his identity. He looked up and smiled at the white salute.
"Brother Dao, is this golden lock yours?" asked Bai Zhili.
Yun Wuxian touched his head, a little confused. He thought that when Bai Deaconli saw him, he would definitely call out his name. No, Bai Zhili was like seeing him for the first time, from his words to his expression, he was very calm. Not in the slightest surprised to see clouds without a trace here.
Yun Wuxian didn't know what medicine was sold in Bai Zhili's gourd. But, since Bai Zhili did not say her identity. He himself will not take the initiative to confess.
"Speaking of which, this golden lock is not mine. Yun Wuxian said, "Yesterday, the disciple went to the back mountain to chop wood and picked up this golden lock. What, is it Childe's stuff?"
Brother Dao laughed. Bai Zhili said, "Such a delicate thing, at first glance, it is a girl's object." How could I have it? ”
Immediately, Bai Zhili handed the golden lock to Yun Wuxian and said, "Such a delicate object, the owner who wants to have it cherishes it very much. Brother Dao, you take it first. When you meet the owner of the object, you must return it to her. ”
"The disciple knows. Yun Wuxian reached out and tried to retrieve the golden lock from Bai Zhili's hand. Yu Guan made a move in advance and snatched the golden lock.
"He picked up the thing, how does he know the owner of the thing. Steward Yu said, "I don't think this kid is a good person." Even if he knew, there was no guarantee that he would return it to the lost person. Why don't you let me keep the things? ”
Bai Zhili turned his head to look at the head of Qingfeng. Although Bai Zhili did not speak, Qingfeng could see Bai Zhili's anger and his disgust for Maoshan disciples from Bai Zhili's eyes.
In front of outsiders, Qingfeng certainly did not allow his own disciples to be presumptuous.
"Steward Yu, bring it. The breeze held out his hand.
Steward Yu obediently handed over the golden lock to the head of Qingfeng. Qingfeng handed the golden lock to Bai Zhili and said, "It's more reasonable for Lord Bai to hold it." My Maoshan disciple usually doesn't go down the mountain. It's rare to meet someone who is lost. It's better for Lord Bai to do it for you. ”
"Okay. Since the head of the house has ordered, Xiaosheng does not dare to disobey. Bai Zhili took the golden lock from Qingfeng's hand and walked away.
Just now, Yu Steward's behavior does damage Maoshan's face, as the head of the house, he can't reprimand Yu Steward in front of Bai Zhili. Now, Bai Zhili left, and Qingfeng said angrily: "Why are you still stunned, waiting to be punished?"
Seeing that Qingfeng was angry, Steward Yu turned around and left quickly.
Yun Wuxian stood still and did not move.
"Why aren't you leaving?" asked the head of Qingfeng.
"Master, you promised to help me. Yun Wuxian said, "Bai Ling is locked up in the 'Linglong Pagoda', and the disciple begs you to release it." I've kowtowed to you. ”
Yun Wuxian lay down and kowtowed to Qingfeng three times.
